Heads up to all you #Hot Wheels Race Team collectors out there! Another race team car is on the loose as the 2016 Track Stars 5-Pack contains the Ballistik in that signature race team blue and featuring the #16. Originally introduced in 2002, the Hot Wheels Ballistik was […]
Lowriders are part of a custom car culture that has seemingly gone by the wayside in terms of Hot Wheels today. But that wasn’t always the case. Back in the late ’90s and early ’00s, Hot Wheels lowriders were thriving with several castings being released in that time […]
